CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims the benefit under 35 USC 119(e) of Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/664,050 filed on Mar. 22, 2005.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to the field of reducing the waste stream burden in the medical field, but not limited to that.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In particular, this application relates to systems used in the collection and disposal of certain medical wastes. The collection of fluent waste material is a common procedure in the medical field. Most methods of surgical waste collection are carried out using vacuum suction. Some methods use gravity, while some use impelling devices which produce suction vacuum. Examples of such impelling devices may comprise a meniscus shaver, a lipo-suction system, an arthroscopic fluid pump, a tissue ablator, an endoscopic irrigation and aspiration wand and the like. Surgical fluid waste is collected in containers commonly referred to as canister and/or canister liners. These waste collection devices are generally disposable; some are re-cycled, re-processed, or rewashed. Some collection devices are re-used. Some are partially reused while some are intermittently re-used. Some are disposable or partially disposable. Some are used in conjunction with servicing units while some are used with additive agents for treating the waste material. Some are used multiple times on multiple patients without the preferable cleaning in between treatment of different patients. In certain instances reused devices are cleaned, reprocessed, sterilized, re-sterilized and or recycled and or prepared for reuse. There are disadvantages to the use of disposable collection canisters and canister liners. One problem is that disposable collection canisters and disposable collection liners contribute contaminated infectious plastic waste to the medical waste stream which is undesirable for the environment. Reuse of disposable collection devices by recleaning or reprocessing or recycling and or sterilizing, has the disadvantages of adding costly labor and requiring additional labor costs for sorting, containing transporting and handling of contaminated medical waste containers, and then the added costs of product re-entry into the internal/external product re-sterilization internal/external distribution system. There is a significant need to reduce medical waste. The need to reduce medical waste is a serious common goal of the United States and Internal Agencies. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the American Hospital Association has entered into a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) formally establishing the goals to reduce medical waste 50% by the year 2010. Hospitals for Healthy Environment (www.H2E-Online.org) is the name of the aforementioned alliance for waste reduction, supported by formidable organizations and companies such as the American Nurses Association, Healthcare Without Harm, the EPA, plus Group Purchasing Organization, leading health care organization, federal, state and local government agencies and health care associations and the like.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART

It is important in the health care field to have good quality sturdy and reliable products. This is true especially in the field of collection of contaminated biological waste material. Containers for these purposes must be easy to use, and be designed with good human factors and ergonomics for the operators of such devices. One key important ergonomic feature is that the systems for collection of biological waste must be easy to use, and the amount of effort and strength required to assemble such systems should be easy and require little effort by the operators. The instant embodiments of the instant case provide for such ease of use. In addition other useful features which represent good quality standards for collection containers and systems and methods involve stability so that when containers are placed on a horizontal surface they are stable. The container should be puncture, leak and impact resistant and be stable and secure when dropped. It should be manufactured out of materials which function for the intended purposes, and if made form a polymer, have a durometer should not crack or break if dropped. Labels and brackets should be made durable. The system should be autoclavable so that if desired by the customer it may be, reused. The systems should be available in various sizes to accommodate a variety of patient populations as well as be effective to operate in a number of different treatment situations and locations. The system should not have any parts that are sharp, that might compromise the operator's personal protection, and not tear gloves, or other personal protective equipment such as gowns, gloves, masks, etc. Designs of systems of this sort should promote safe clinical care and perform according to those safe clinical standards. The design should promote resistance to opening after final sealing for disposal, as well as promote easy assemble and easy opening (in this case easy sealing and unsealing) with good ergonomic and human factor attributes. All closure seals should function tightly and maintain the leak proof seal during use, handling and transport. The design should accommodate easy carrying and handling so that transport of the systems may be done safely without contaminating the surrounding environment. Grips and handles should be designed for ease of access and use. Parts should be designed for ease of decontamination, and be rugged to withstand multiple autoclaving if desired. Opening must be free of obstruction, entanglement and sub-assembly parts must be able to attach and dis-attach without requiring undue hand work or significant effort.

In addition various scenarios that occur during health are supply chain efficiency and supply management require unique features to products that encounter such scenarios. Some scenarios occur in the operating room. For example, in collection systems the y should be designed to be easy to use during room turnover. They should be easy to use during intra-operative system changing. They should be easy to use after terminal sterilization and room setup. And they should be easy to use when preparing an operating room at the beginning of the operating day. Such collection systems should be easy to check/test to make sure they are operating correctly. Especially n a vacuum suction collection system, testing suction and checking seal must be easy and without undue fiddling or parts manipulation. This is especially significant whereas many time the individual who may be preparing the collection system for use, may do so prior to and at time different than actual use, which means the operator setting up the system for use is not the same operator using the system to collect waste. Ease of checking/testing, especially of the seals becomes important if, for example the prior individual does not properly assemble or prepare the system for subsequent use and the operator must then insure the system is in intended working condition at a later time. It is also desirable, when dealing with contaminated biological waste that minimum handling of unsealed containers holding biological waste material is kept to a minimum, and that containers are sealed prior to handling and transport. It is also important that a minimum of handling be required during the various scenarios mentioned above and that hand and hand coordination may be achieved to carry out the aforementioned clinical safety features. It is understood that the aforesaid features for the aforesaid scenarios do not only apply to the operating room. Other settings as further defined by the instant application are all applicable. Another example is that safe sealing of containers containing biological waste must be achievable with one handed technique as provided by the instant system. The feature of creating a stand 3, that has different dimension from a system centerline so that as cap 15 may be placed on a container 14 having waste material therein is a good clinically safe procedure. This sealed bottle is them removed with one hand, and replaced with an empty container while the other hand is occupied holding lid 4. The container stand/container relationship provides for anti rotation of the stand while cap 15 is securely threaded down to seal the container holding the biological waste material. These practical features bring good ergonomic and human factors to the instant system while providing a good clinically safe system into the health care setting.

Certain disadvantages of the prior art in these regards will become better understood with the explanations of the following references. U.S. Pat. No. 5,792,126 to Tribastone, et. Al., discloses a collection canister system comprising carister interior of preferably 5000, 10000, and 15000 cubic centimeters and taught to be effective for all procedures. A container of this size has disadvantages because it is too big for many collection applications. For example, suction collection for anesthesia where it is convenient to have a small collection canister attached to an anesthesia machine is preferable, especially in that most anesthesia suction volumes constitute just a few cubic centimeters of sputum or pharyngeal throat saliva most of the time. Larger equipment is also inconvenient in smaller rooms where suction collection equipment is found such as in the emergency room, the intensive care unit, the coronary care unit, patient hospital rooms, the neo-natal infant care units, physician offices, physician owned surgery suites, physician office surgery and procedure rooms, outpatient surgery centers, ambulatory surgery center, ambulances and other rooms beside operating rooms which require smaller apparatus for smaller more confined spaces. There are also concerns with cross contamination in any system where contaminated waste material remains in a room during the presence of subsequent multiple patients. Another disadvantage of the larger 5000, 10000, 15000 cc containers is weight and mobility. Such weight in the extremely large heavy volumes are sometimes difficulty ergonomics imposing risk of injury to personnel such as back pain, and other injuries whereby by seams in floors and door jams which are not smooth may induce tipping over and spillage of large volumes of medical waste. Another disadvantage of such large heavy containers is its size. Such large container are ore difficult to keep clean and cumbersome to handle, and because of the awkward size and could cause ergonomic strain as related to the U.S. Pat. No. 5,792,126 reference.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,960,837 to Cude et. Al., discloses a suction canister and id combination whereby only a destructive force will only separate the parts which renders the Cude invention to be an only disposable product which is costly whereby each time a canister is used another is purchase to replace it. A purchase is made and is costly to the customer and each plastic disposable product enters the disposal chain waste stream and another piece of garbage enters the land fills or incinerators which are disadvantages. This is expensive, and requires ongoing ongoing inventory space, inventory handling which are at a premium. Another disadvantage is a lack of choice for the customer to re-process, re-sterilize or re-use which options are beneficial but not available with the U.S. Pat. No. 5,960,837 reference. U.S. Pat. No. 5,901,717 to Dunn et. Al., discloses a canister and flushing system. This system comprises a complex system for handling a collection canister. This disadvantages of this system are expensive equipment is required and it is complex equipment. These expenses and maintenance plus require periodic inspection by biomedical engineering which increases labor costs associated with its presence. In addition the equipment must be kept clean which is additional requirement for daily operations. Other disadvantages a reusable canister which requires costly labor for internal processing, reprocessing, resterilization and reusing. In most institutions, volume of such collection systems is quite high imposing internal/external processing costs. The system discloses the disposable flush kit which maintains higher disposable costs along with the higher costs associated with internal distribution, inventory handling and higher disposable waste removal costs. U.S. Pat. No. 4,419,093 to Deaton discloses a reusable canister having a disposable lid and liner. This system id delivered in pieces and requires subassembly by the customer prior to operation. This requires additional labor which is costly and involves the inventory tracking a plurality of pieces to a system in sets and often times lids and liner can become separated and when out of numeral matching balance one cannot be use with out the other, whereas resulting in a incomplete set and a unusable subassembly. This disadvantage complicates the ongoing internal/external distribution and tracking of pieces which adds costly labor, inventory management and excess handling.

The U.S. Pat. No. 4,419,093 reference also discloses contribution of garbage to the waste stream which is a serious environmental concern. Other disadvantages of disposable collection container include the difficulty in which to assemble a lid to a container body. Many disposable canister systems have a container body which is stackable. This stack ability allow the container bodies to be nested on each other with one container resting substantially within the other with the exception of about one to two inches of body length. This stack ability feature is desirable whereas the volume of containers handling in the disposable application is very high. For example a busy institution may process anywhere between 10,000 and 50,000 disposable canisters per year. The stack ability feature makes these canisters easier to transport in volume. One problem with the assembly of such stackable canister and it s associated lid, is that the snap on feature of lid must be very tight in order to be fluid leak proof in the event of tip over. In order for these canister lid interfaces to be leak proof they must fit very tightly making for a very difficult assembly. The force required to assemble the canister and lids of this nature is greater that a force which would normally be deemed easy to use. In fact they are very difficult to use. Good ergonomic systems include assembly and dies-assembly features that do not require undue finger, hand and/or upper body strength. May of the prior art collectin systems have snap together features that, due to their seal design. Require more force to assemble, than most operators can provide. This is because of the force required to snap together the seals that =are not meant to come apart, and that must be tight enough to stay sealed during transport, handling and tipping over. The applicant believes that if a system cannot be assemble with much less force and upper body strength of the average operator, then there are human factors and ergonomics design issues that are solved by the instant case. The applicant believes that the snap fit force utilized to keep a lid and canister housing together during transport and tippage is not the same force that provides for good human factor/ergonomic and good clinical handling. Applicant contents that when snap fit forces are greater that the average upper body strength of the average operator, then clinical safety is in jeopardy and personal protective equipment such as protective gloves are at risk for tearing or hole.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The instant embodiments provides methods and apparatus for utilizing fluid enclosing product transfer delivery container which do not embody the self inherent physical construct capacity to maintain shape under extreme negative vacuum pressures up to negative minus 1 atmospheres. Examples of cost effectively fabricated fluid enclosing containers made for delivery of fluids which may not embody inherent implosion resistant structural strength and rigidity needed for suction vacuum collection may include plastic delivery containers such as plastic pour bottles and intravenous containers. The present invention discloses cost effective practical solutions for reducing waste, reducing labor, reducing inventory, reducing the receiving, reducing the internal distribution, and reducing the inventory handling costs and the space required to carry inventory all involved with the collection waste materials. These achievements are carried out by the instant embodiments whereby successful suction vacuum collection may be realized using in a flexible manner cost effectively fabricated fluid enclosing distribution, commercialization, and transfer delivery containers. This patent application discloses collection systems that teach use of fluid enclosing product supply containers for collection, removal and disposal of waste material and into the disposal chain. In particular, delivery containers for general distribution, transfer, administration of pour bottle solutions and intravenous solution, parenteral and enteral solution container and the like are converted into the waste collection and disposal chain.

This application also teaches use of a common fluid enclosing container for both the supply and the disposal chain. The instant application also teaches use of containers found in inventory for supply and delivery of fluids and then transforming them for the collection removal, and disposal utility found in the deposal chain. This application teaches the use of a common fluid enclosing container for the product transfer and the integrates the container into systems for the collection and the removal of waste material. The instant application teaches waste reduction methods by integrating delivery containers fabrication and the collecting and disposing of waste materials. Two potential container fabrication applicable to the applicable to the instant case comprise blow fill seal manufacturing, blow molding or continuous blow molding which produce an open top container. Another type of container fabrication process applicable to the instant application is a blow fill seal fabrication process commonly knows and a close top manufacturing process whereby a container is formed, filled with fluid and hermetically closed within one machine. The instant application teaches the waste reduction methods by using manufacturing methods as mentioned such as blow molding, blow fill sealing, laminating sheets such as in intravenous solution container making methods to form enclosures. The purpose is to transform these containers which are derived from a fluid delivery mode from product transfer and administration and the converting the container to collection removal and disposal of waste materials.

The embodiments of this instant case discloses the utilization of fluid filled product transfer containers such as pour bottles and/or intravenous solution containers (IV bags) (and/or other product/fluid containing enclosures used for intravenous therapeutics and the administration of anesthetic agents as well as other medicaments) for the receiving, collecting, containment and disposal of waste. Using fluid enclosing product distribution transfer/administration containers also for the handling of waste results in optimal reduction of waste, reduction of inventory, reduction in labor, reduction of internal/external inventory distribution/processing/re-processing/re-using/re-cycling, reduction of inventory handling and waste disposal costs (brought by the (unnecessary) the need for separate supply and disposal containers in certain circumstances), all are reduced by eliminating the supply chain costs with the fabrication of the said separate supply and disposal/collection containers. The question arises why pay for disposable container when a fluid delivery container can be derived from the supply side of the supply and disposal side and then converted into a collection and removal/disposal container. Such container are supplied clean/sterile and are made to meet certain sterility assurance levels (SAL). The instant embodiments confer options allowing consumer choices for the reduction of waste.

Plastic transfer containers such as blow molded containers, continuous containers, blow fill seal containers, intravenous solution containers, containers made of laminated sheets of polymers and of foils, are commonly used for the distribution transfer and administration of fluid products and other product such as sterile water, sterile saline solution intravenous solutions for IV therapeutics, IV solutions for administration of anesthetic agents and other water for injection (WFI) based fluid formularies as used in the medical field. Also included are cleaning solvents, prep solutions, alcohol solution and the like.

In essence disposal supplies are environmentally preferred. In essence disposal supplying is the environmentally preferred method.

Difficulties exist with the use of certain containers when integrated into high negative pressure vacuum/suction system. Negative vacuum draw pressures at times up to minus one atmosphere of negative pressure is common for drawing surgical waste materials from a surgical site into a collection receptacle. One problem is that the common blow molded or blow fill sealed containers are cost effectively manufactured with relatively this plastic wall sometimes down the thickness range of 0.025 inches or less and are generally made with a plastic materials such as high density polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, or other like materials. Thin walled containers are commonly fabricated to reduce the plastic material mass (volume of plastic materials per unit) and hold down production costs and shipping weight. It is common practice of container manufacturing to consume the minimum amount of material used per unit to fabricate each container yet maintain user function for cost effective manufacturing purposes. Common container material durometers comprising containers having such ranges of this wall thickness I these like materials are hot generally strong enough to withstand the negative differential pressures of up to minus one atmosphere of negative pressure as commonly found in a vacuum/suction system without imploding or deforming. Product fluid enclosing distribution transfer containers are commonly fabricated using processes know by artisans skilled in the arts of blow molding or continuous blow molding of open top containers and/or blow fill sealing of closed top containers as well as using such manufacturing processes such as thermal, lamination of plastic sheet to form cavities/enclosures for the filling and production of intravenous solution containers and other parenteral containers and the like.

The solution to the problem of implosion and bottle/container deformity which occurs under high vacuum pressure is to connect to container to a suction collection system whereby container wall is interposed between its inner chamber and an outer space with each space subjected to a common amount of negative draw vacuum force/pressure. This force envelops itself inside and outside of the container which forms opposing differential pressures with provides enforcing balances by effecting a similar positive and negative neutralizing net force at the same time on the container wall eliminating negative implosion forces on the container wall. This is carried out by the container and canister of the instant case co-acting to contain waste and balance negative draw forces along the composite draw path. This addresses the issue of container deformity. This instant application discloses the neck of the pour bottle as the utilitarian area of the bottle for coupling with the lid of a canister system. The instant application discloses a throat aperture space (pour spout) of a plastic pour bottle as a utilitarian area for engagement of draw forces. The instant application discloses the throat space aperture, pour spout as a utilitarian area for coupling of a throat aperture plug. The instant application discloses a positive and negative exchange plug for providing communication between the draw force and the inside and outside of a fluid enclosing container. The instant application discloses locating an atmospheric pressure draw exchange at the neck of the container. The present application discloses interposing the container neck (pour spout) annularly between a plug and a lid for conversion coupling peripherally (not necessarily round). In an alternative embodiment container neck cap is interposed between a bottle and a container neck and a canister lid cover. In still a further embodiment, a boss projecting downward off of a canister lid is interpose peripherally between a container neck and a container neck negative atmospheric draw force exchange plug. The present application discloses fabricating a blow molded container for delivery transformation and conversion and bayonet coupling (push and twist) to a canister system. It is understood the invention is not intended to be limited to bottle neck configuration which are round. Any shaped bottle/neck shape lid/cover cap, plug, and boss configuration suitable for arrangement/construction having structuration to carry out the utility of the present invention may be fabricated and deployed to a carry out the utility of the instant case. The present invention discloses positioning the plastic container throat space in a negative pressure draw vacuum system whereby an in draw force is disposed to transfer and deposit medical waste material into the container and an outdraw force is disposed to transfer the differential draw forces. The embodiments of the instant case utilizes the inner chamber of a plastic pour bottle as part of the pressure vacuum draw path.

The present case discloses several embodiments for carrying out the invention. In one embodiment the container cap is shown guiding the exchanging forces and positioned along a negative vacuum force draw path at a locating along a site of waste material (surgical site/patient site) and a source from which the draw force emanates. The cap is connectable to a lid cover which is attached to a canister body. In a second embodiment a bottle neck is peripherally (not necessarily meaning round) interposed between a lid and a throat space, the pressure exchanger, whereby in the throat space and is disposed in the guiding position which exchange forces along a draw path at a location between a site of waste material and the source of vacuum draw.

FIG. 19 is a cross section of the preferred embodiment having lid 4 removed. FIG. 19 shows an improved and efficient human factors and ergonomic sequence for and operator such that one hand may pack up lid 4 by thrust 6 and carry out the operation of changing out the container 14 having waste material and replacing it with a empty container using one hand. Bottle 14 contains waste material 17 a places within lid 2 making contact with stand 3 at stand location 3 v and bottle bottom 14 i. Lid 4 has been removed. Also for illustration, canister fill line 20 a shows the potential of overflow of waste material into the canister housing area. 3 h is shows as indicia measuring the amount of waste material in the bottle, and 3 i shows indicia on stand 3 showing the potential amount of the sums of the material both in the bottle and the canister at 3 i. It is noted that although the bottle in FIG. 19 is not completely full the indicia measurement at 3 i would be useful if first the bottle was full and then there was overflow. Also shown is throat area, plug 7, bottle cap 15 with bottle cap thread 15 a. In this view the preferred embodiment has been utilized to collect waste in a fluid enclosing bottle/container. The hoses/tubing is shown removed from lid 4, thrust handle 6 has been used to unseal the system using counterclockwise rotation imparting distraction excursion forces initiate by the engagement of bottle threads 14 and thrust thread 6 a. Handle thrust 6 may be held in one hand by the operator as depicted in 19 c (hand not shown), cap 15 has been removed from cap cutout 4 w of lid 4 and disposed to re-seal waste 17 a in container 14. Once cap 15 is completely tightened sealing bottle 14, the operator may lift said bottle out of the preferred embodiment with one hand (the free hand) and while still holding lid 4 in the other hand, place a new empty bottle 14 as defined in FIG. 19 b into the stand 3 all of which may be carried out with one hand while the other hand holds lid 4. Lid 4 may then be placed back onto the canister to holding handle thrust 6 and thrust 6 may be oriented through a clockwise excursion thusly using forces emanating forces from contact between thread 6 a and 14 d to fully seal the bottle flange 14 g with lid at sealing area 4 k at seal 4 a 3. Full clockwise orientation of handle thread 6 superimposes in vertically dimensionally thrust thread xx-thrust and xx-bottle as defined in sheet 16 allowing superimposing of thread 6 a and 14 d closing the sum of the distances thread height 14 j and thread height 6 b each having a cooperative height thread angle pitch and lead to allow for captive structuration to align the sums of the heights are substantially superimposed and substantially reduced the one half of said height sums. This clockwise rotation allows for a dimensional stack up referencing sheet 16 such that canister sealing rim 2 e and seal 4 n may come into full seal contact, the bottom of bottle 4 i and the bottle rest surface 3 v and the measuring stand 3 has slight gap in the system and the system may be fully sealed at soft dual shot seal 4 a 2 and 4 a 3.

FIG. 20 shows another potential embodiment of unsealing lid 4 form canisters 2. In this view thrust 6 is left untouched and finger lift flanges, first and second 4 u are lifted up while first and second jacking lever 21 are pressed down by thumb pressure separating lid 4 and canister 2.

FIG. 21 shows contact stack of the components that are in structuration during sealing and unsealing of the preferred embodiment. Shown here are measurement stand 3, canister 2, lid 4, lock 5, thrust 6, and spider cap 8. FIG. 21 shows the sums of the thread heights of bottle 14 and thrust 6, and further explains the sums of the thread heights providing separation excursion distances between lid 4 and canister 2 as explained in FIG. 16. 14 j defines a bottle thread height. 6 b defines a thrust thread height. 6 b+14 j defines the sums of the thread heights 6 b and 14 j, separation stack of canister 2 an did 3 is shown by horizontal line further defining contact of the bottle bottom 14 i and slot bottom 3 v of stand 3. Also shown is a vertical separation stack dimension defining a bottle stand contact between,canister lid contact dimension which further defines a separation stack of 4 i on 3 v and 6 a on 14 d, and 6 j on 4 a 9.

FIG. 22 further shows the assembly leads defining a easy to use assembly structuration between canister 2, measuring stand 3, bottle 14, lid 4, to further assist in the proper alignment of the bottle thread and a lid thread and sealing surfaces 4 a 2 and 4 a 3 as well as sealing area 4 k. Also shown is plug 7. Assembly lead 4 g allows easier assembly and vertical and horizontal alignment of bottle 14 and lid 4. Assembly lead 4 h allows easier vertical and horizontal alignment of lid 4 and d canister 2. Another helpful lead would be to have the mating surfaces and associated seal to be curvilinear shaped having corresponding mating seal surfaces having a vertical and horizontal lead from the portion of the curves which is closest to the centerline to the portion of the curves furthest from the centerline. This particular lead would allow a greater slop in assembly and disassembly as well as shorter vertical friction dimension required to unseal lid 4 from canister 2. Leads 4 g and 4 h are defined by a plurality of leads as they are built into t plurality of vertical wall mold support struts providing strength to the lid during high negative pressure. Also shown is lead 14 v on the bottom corner of container 14 and lead 3 w which is a cutout bevel of the tops of each of the four measurement stand pillars of components 3 a and 3 b of stand 3. these leads all work together to define easier drop in assembly for various bottle sizes to be integrated into the preferred embodiment and are further defined by the use of a plurality of measuring stands 3 each accommodating the size and shape to match threads 6 a and 14 d.

FIG. 23 shows side elevation view of indica placed on the outside of the canister housing. This view shows six fluid measurement fluid level areas each measuring the level of fluid in the respective different container volume sizes plus that volume and the volume which would be in addition to that volume plus the volume of fluid in the canister 2 n the event of overflow from the bottle 14, through transfer hose 9 and into canister 2.
